Myanmar's parliament has elected Htin Kyaw as the country's new president.
Kyaw is a close friend of the Aung San Suu Kyi, head of the governing National League for Democracy party (NLD). But she is barred from becoming president because her children are not citizens of Myanmar.
Suu Kyi had indicated she would run the country through a proxy president.
